ELECTED TO PLACE ON
BOARD 0E EDUCATION
Frank Harrold to Succeed
Therelo.
CITY COUNCIL HAS NAMED HIM
To the Vacancy Occasioned by the
Death of His father, 1). B. Har
rold, Filling the Unexpired
Term.
The City Council at its recent meet
ing elected Mr. Frank P. Harrold a
member of the Board of Education to
fill the vacancy therein created by
the death of his father, Mr. U. -B.
Harrold. The late Mr. Harrold was
the nestor of the Board of Education
and president of that body, with
which he had served faithfully since
the Americus public schools were es
tablished more than twenty-seven
years ago. A staunch friend of edu
cation, a man who loved little child
ren and young people, the education
al interests of the youth of Americus
were accorded every consideration at
the hands of this lamented citizen dur
ing his long and faithful service of
nearly thirty years for the educational
interests of Americus.
BITTEN BY A RATTLER
AND STILL IN RING
Narrow Escape Os a Earmer
Here.
Roscoe Matthews, a farmer living
near Americus, was in the city yes
terday after a thrilling experience a
day or two ago. Mr. Matthews was
at work in his field when he came
suddenly upon a rattlesnake. He
stooped to pick up a stick where
with the son of man proposed to
bruise the serpent’s head, according
to biblical injunction, but he did not
do it. Another big rattler, unseen
by Mr. Matthews, popped its deadly
fangs in his arm as he leaned over
for the stick. Mr. Matthews left the
snakes alone and hurried for a doc
tor, who cauterized the wound. Mr.
Matthews’ coatsleeve, no doubt, sav
ed his life. At all events he is one
of a thousand to be bitten by a rat
tlesnake and live to tell the story.
